REVENGE
Yes, Revenge is a sort of wild, weird
and boorish justice
Is ever swayed by the intrinsic
impulses brutish and loutish,
It is ever too blind to
distinguish between right and wrong
It echoes the adage, “ If you are
stung, leave none unstung!”
Yes, Revenge suddenly relieves one
from a soured stress
It acts like an appeasing lotion
for the wounds of distress,
It too brings short-lived smiles
on the lips of the revenger
Alas! He forgets his Game’s persisting
pangs whatsoever!
But,how long his momentary
pleasure continue to buoy?
No sooner does the pinch of
conscience poke and peck at his joy?
Than do rush bitter remorse and acidic
regret to sting like wasps
To bite him to bleed to death for
his morality and humanity lapse.
Till his last breath he is stung
by unavoidable embarrassment!
Alas! He perishes for his
vindictive inclination for lack of treatment!
